Simplest and fastest in a Visit Visa. For that he can ask his employer who will file for a visit visa for you as spouse. They would need ur passport copy and photo to apply. Once they apply typically in a week you wud get an online response at MOFA [Ministry of Foreign Affairs] website about approve or decline of visa, [ generally they do approve , but a friend had to reapply 3 times thru his employer to finally get it approved , no reasons whatsoever of earlier declines]. Once approved you take the approved visa printout in USA go to Saudi consulate in USA and they would stamp the Visa.This is typically for 3 months which can be renewd as well from Saudi itself once u r here. Also once visa is stamped u need to travel within 3 months to Saudi, else it gets cancelled. One last point you would meanwhile need a certified Arabic translator to translate and certify your marriage certificate which Saudi consulate in USA may ask to prove relationship. And also u need to carry tht along with ur passport when in Saudi as u might be checked anytime u r out per law. [ Doesn't happen too frequently]. All the above was the process for me to get my wife to a visit here from India. May change a little for US nationals. best is to get ur hubby cracking at jeddah with his employers. They wud let u have all the answers. ;>
